Default RE: Composite-ARF Flash FYI

I don't have kero-start on my turbine, so I mounted it just like it shows in the pics. the pics are for a P120, but the dimensions are the same for the P80. It's easier to access the plug for me on the bottom. And it's turned so that it's almost pointing right at the edge of the fuselage. As far over rotated in the mount as possible. That doesn't rub anything on my end.

Also, my inlet joiner DID rub my wing once it was mounted. I actually trimmed out a huge section and rebuilt it so it wouldn't bind up. Then, heard from my rep that since I'm in HOT Arizona, to take that joiner out. It helps it breathe better. I'm also wrapping the thrust tube in a $15 ceramic blanket from BVM since I still noticed the rudder area is VERY hot to the touch.

It's only been in the 90's here. I dunno what the Flash is complaining about. ha ha
